Bar Med, bar/restaurant and live entertainment venue in El Alamillo (Puerto de Mazarrón)

Bar Med is your local cafe bar owned and Run by Lisa & Terry, offering a restaurant and cabaret entertainment venue in El Alamillo (Puerto de Mazarrón), located just across from the beach of El Alamillo and boasting panoramic views out over the Mediterranean and the Bay of Mazarrón.

The views make the outdoor terrace an attractive option for most of the year, but the fully refurbished interior is often preferred during the heat of summer as people seek to cool down while enjoying the range of popular dishes prepared in the kitchen. Others come in just for a quiet drink, to enjoy the regular entertainment or even to watch their favourite UK television programmes in convivial company, but it’s hard to resist the tasty favourites on offer, including full English breakfast, a range of burgers, sandwiches and snacks and dishes such as chicken curry, jacket potatoes and chilli con carne!

Veggie and kiddies’ dishes are also on the menu, as are classics such as steak and ale pie, liver and bacon, quiche and cottage pie.

From June to September the weekly Saturday night “Party on the Plaza” is held outside on the terrace, featuring comedians, tribute acts, singers, stage hypnotists, drag artists and musicians, while for the rest of the year the events still continue but move indoors. All year round there is a special meal deal available (dinner for 8 euros) for those who would like to combine the show with dinner: prior bookings are advisable.

Other regular events at Bar Med include the pool rally on Wednesdays from 15.00 onwards, Line-dancing on Thursdays from 15.30 until 17.00, quiz night with Stevie Tucker every Friday at 20.00 and the Fish’n’chips special offer both at lunchtime and in the early evening, also on Fridays. Then on Saturdays it’s time for live entertainment, usually starting at approximately 21.00, and the week is rounded off with Sunday lunch overlooking the Mediterranean!

It may be news to those who haven’t been to El Alamillo for a while that Bar Med is now under new management, having been taken over by Lisa and Terry, who for several years ran a successful restaurant business in the UK before heading for the Costa Cálida.

Among the innovations introduced during their refurbishment are an indoor/outdoor bar, a purpose-built stage with high quality lighting and sound systems and the two 50-inch televisions showing live sports and the main UK channels.

During the summer Bar Med is opens 7 days a week from 10.00 until late, except Sundays 20 till 16.00, and food is served from 10.00 to 15.00 and 17.00 to 19.00.
